Transparency works, but no color?

I am trying to create a translucent vase, using blender and torque. My first attempt I was able to get the colormap working but had issues with the transparency, but eventually figured out that I had forgotten to hit the "translucent" button in the exporter menu. In my second attempt, I was able to get the transparency working fine, but now for some reason I can't seem to be able to see the color I put. I'm using a .png file saved with the superPNG script from photoshop as my texture. Does this sound like a simple solution? Am I missing something obvious?
